this thread currently has 65 comments here on lemmy.ml but the federated version of it on lemmygrad has only 46.
is this a temporary problem, and/or is something wedged?

i’m seeing this on my instance as well. as of right now, for this post:
https://lemmy.ml/post/179265 - 5 comments
https://lemmy.ca/post/81014 - 2 comments
not sure if it’s related or not, but just going through my logs, i’m seeing a few warnings similar to this:
a few days ago i was having issues where no comments seemed to be coming over from other instances, but i realized that i forgot to setup time syncing on my server, so i’m guessing my server time was off by more than 10 seconds which was causes federation to not work, according to the docs. but since i got the time sync working, most comments seem to be working, but not all?
The post @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml made to !theonion@midwest.social doesn’t show up to users on midwest.social, but shows up fine on lemmy.ml.
interesting. i seem to have just now caused that post to finally appear on https://midwest.social/c/theonion (here) by searching for the lemmy URL https://lemmy.ml/post/179689 with midwest.social’s search. (I looked, and it definitely wasn’t there a moment before I searched for it. So I guess searching for a lemmy URL made it fetch it somehow?!)
i’m pretty sure searching for it does force it to be “fetched”. you can do the same with comments. but i don’t know why they’re not being federated automatically.
i made a few more missing posts appear on other instances by searching for them there, but searching for comment links (to missing comments) hasn’t worked for me yet.
